Principle 

Ceiling SensorLight DL 850 S is equipped with three 120° pyro sensors which detect the invisible heat emitted 
by moving objects (people, animals etc.). The heat detected in this way is converted electronically into a signal 
that switches the light 'ON' automatically when it is needed. No heat radiation is detected through obstacles 
such as walls or panes of glass for example and consequently no switching occurs. The three pyro sensors 
achieve a coverage angle of 360° with an aperture angle of 160°. Important: The most reliable way of detect-
ing motion is to install the ceiling SensorLight with the sensor aimed across the direction in which a person 
would walk and by ensuring that no obstacles (such as trees and walls, for example) obstruct the line of sensor 
vision.
Safety precautions
 
■ Disconnect the power supply before performing any work on the ceiling SensorLight!
■ During installation, the electric power cable being connected must not be live. Therefore, switch off the 
power first and use a voltage tester to make sure the wiring is off circuit.
■ Installing the ceiling SensorLight involves work on the mains voltage supply. This work must therefore be 
carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable national wiring regulations and electrical 
operating conditions (D-VDE 0100, A-ÖVE-ÖNORM E8001-1, -SEV 1000).
Installation advice 

Please note that the ceiling SensorLight must be protected by a 10 A circuit breaker. The site of installation 
should be at least 1 m away from another light because heat radiated from it may activate the system. 
In addition, the ceiling SensorLight must be completely covered by the mounting surface.
L = Phase conductor (in most cases black or brown)
N = Neutral conductor (in most cases blue), PE = protective-earth conductor (green/yellow)
If you are in any doubt, identify the conductors using a voltage tester; now disconnect the power supply again. 
Phase (L) and neutral conductor (N) are connected to the terminal block.  
Function 

The ceiling SensorLight can be put into operation once the enclosure 
 has been fitted and mains power 
connected. The settings are made at the control dials on the sensor unit 
.
Twilight setting (response threshold) 
Sensor response threshold can be infinitely varied from 2 – 2000 lux. Control dial set to number 1 = daylight 
operation at approx. 2000 lux (factory setting). Control dial set to 6 = twilight operation approx. 2 lux. 
Time setting (switch-off delay)  
Infinitely variable light 'ON' time from 1 min. to 15 min. Control dial set to number 1 = shortest time (1 min., 
factory setting). Control dial set to number 6 = longest time (15 min.). 
Troubleshooting (Fault / Cause 
➩ Remedy) 
Ceiling SensorLight without power / Fuse faulty, not switched 'ON', open circuit 
➩ new fuse, turn power 
switch 'ON', check wiring with voltage tester; short circuit 
➩ check connections; power switch 'OFF' ➩ switch 
'ON' Ceiling SensorLight not switching 'ON' / during daytime operation, twilight setting adjusted to night 
mode 
➩ adjust setting (control dial ); lamp faulty ➩ change lamp; power switch 'OFF' ➩ switch 'ON'; fuse 
faulty in building’s fuse box 
➩ fit new fuse in building’s fuse box, check connection if necessary Ceiling 
SensorLight will not switch 'OFF' / continuous movement in the detection zone 
➩ check detection zone 
Ceiling SensorLight switches 'ON' when it should not / wind is moving trees and bushes in the detection 
zone 
➩ change detection zone; cars in the street are being detected ➩ change detection zone; sunlight shining 
on the lens 
➩ mount sensor in a protected place or change zone; sudden temperature changes due to weather 
(wind, rain, snow) or air expelled from fans, open windows 
➩ change zone, move site of installation. 
Operation / Maintenance 

The ceiling SensorLight is suitable for switching 'ON' light automatically. Weather conditions may affect the way 
the sensor works. Strong gusts of wind, snow, rain and hail may cause the light to come 'ON' when it is not 
wanted because the sensor is unable to distinguish sudden changes of temperature from sources of heat. The 
detector lens should be cleaned with a damp cloth if it gets dirty (do not use cleaning agents).
